How can I find the right plate?

At the beginning different plate attributes can be selec-ted, e.g. cavities, material, color or surface. The order of selection is not predetermined; all attributes can be chosenin any order. That way the product range can be narrowed down according to the individual preferences of the user.

Some users are not yet familiar with our new surface related plate names. We therefore offer an information field with a short description, when the mouse is placed upon the different names.

Every time an attribute is chosen the number of plates which match the selected criteria is shown. Selecting addi-tional criteria allows the customer to narrow the selection still further. Attributes which are not available with the already selected criteria are grayed out in the menu and cannot be selected anymore. This way a request without output is eliminated.

With pressing the button 'Show plates' the selected BRANDplates® are displayed in a clearly arranged table. The search criteria with which the selection was made is always displayed in the table. With this help the customers can view their search also at a later date. At this stage the table can be assorted according to the given attributes such as catalog number, surface or cavities.

Clicking on the catalog number you can go directly to the BrandTech 'Request a Quote' form. Pressing the button 'New Search' the user returns to the selection screen. With 'Reset' the selection for all attributes is reset to 'all'.

A second possibility of searchng a special plate is the 'Alternative search by application'. Here you can pick your application out of a given table. In reference to this application appropriate plates out of the BRANDplates® product range are recommended. Please keep in mind, that this preselection is only a recommendation. Often applications can be performed in different ways (e.g. different detection systems). Therefore it is possible that a multitude of plates are sugges-ted for one application. For this reason the user can further specify the selection over the attributes in the next step .
